Kyran Lofthouse netted the only goal as Burton Albion claimed a vital 1-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon, intensifying the battle for League One safety.
Albion leapfrogged their opponents with the win, while the Wombles found themselves dragged deeper into the fight as their winless run extended to seven games, six of them ending in defeat.

A scrappy first half saw chances at a premium in blustery conditions. Tyrese Shade tried his luck early on with a looping effort that Wimbledon goalkeeper Nathan Bishop grabbed before the onrushing Burton attackers could pounce.
